Section 161 of the Highways Act 1980 (England & Wales) makes it an offence to discharge a firearm within 50 ft of the centre of a highway with vehicular rights without lawful authority or excuse, if as a result a user of the highway is injured, interrupted or endangered.

Got two types, SWIBO by Wenger and the Victorinox ones with the fibrox handle. Both are good enough (for me - I only do the odd deer but butcher my own lambs/sheep) as they hold a reasonable edge and are fairly easy to sharpen with a steel. Prefer the Victorinox as the fibrox handles are a touch more comfortable and have a better grip when they get wet. Both are easy to clean and sterilise.

Thanks for all the advice. Seems that buying a couple select knifes is enough rather than a whole set. In terms of the different kinds of knifes would say a boning knife, steak knife and saw be sufficient for the average roe deer?
